Readme file for Plug Man EX; by Lillie's MADs
Origin: Mega Man and various porn media

Hey, thanks for downloading this character!
Usually, this is the part where I go "AI vs AI, unfair for a player, yada yada", but this one is actually pretty easy for a player.

General information:
______________

This is what happens when you figure "hey, it'd be funny if I made a completly normal character based on something and then it references some random
internet video" and then you turn around and start doing research.

Plug Man EX is a combination of many different NSFW sources used in otoMADs, aswell as general porn things that are connected to Mega Man in some way or form.
The majority of his moves, intros and win animations are based on INMU, BME/Boogie Woogie and ゼERO/ANALMAN SEX 69.
Plug Man doesn't have any normal attacks. Instead, he can shoot his electric balls at various angles and build up meter in the process.
A powercharge also aids him in these attempts. Once he has enough, he can use assists and powerful supers.
His playstyle revolves around not letting yourself get pushed in a corner and keeping at least some meter.

X: Electric Balls

Plug Man shoots his signature balls.
Holding back, you can shoot it at an angle, easier for anti-airs.
A quarter circle in either direction will trigger an EX version that uses 250 Power, shooting 3 balls instead.
You can also do all of this in the air! And with no limit on the balls, you can spam to your heart's content!

All helpers take 500 power, but give some back if they land a hit.
They are each useful in various scenarios.

Y: Help in Hard Times
Hard Man jumps in, flying above the fighters. When close to the opponent, he'll try to squish them to the ground.
A multihit move that has to be blocked low.
Hard Man can be hit away.

Hold Down Y: Hornet Hole
Hornet Man jumps in and fires a bunch of non-suspicious wasps.
3 are fired each time. If they hit, they'll sting the opponent, leaving them open shortly.
Hornet Man can be hit away.

Z and Hold Down Z: DB Gun
DB comes in with his gun and fires after a quick wind up.
This helper can be used during any other move, and even during hitstun! 
Very useful for getting opponents away. 
The button pressed chooses which side of the screen the gun emerges from - no direction means left, holding down means right.

A: Director Shimada
Director Shimada comes in from the opposite side of the screen and smacks the opponent to the floor.
A lot of Plug Man's moves can hit on the floor, so opponents in a corner will likely be struck multiple times.
The Director can not be hit away.

Hold Down A: Gabba Man
Gabba Hole Daddy charges in from the opposite side of the screen. 
The hit will not knock opponents down, instead, carrying them across the screen.
Gabba Man can be hit away.

Hold Forward A: Spooky Ghost Lady
A spooky headbanging ghost lady charges in from behind Plug Man.
The hit will knock opponents straight to the floor, however, the ghost lady can also be hit.
For some reason, sometimes, you will hear a strange demon voice when she appears. No idea what's up with that, I didn't code it in.

B: Sigma
Sigma comes flying in from behind like the Sun from Mario Bros 3.
His swoop is rather quick and can catch airborne opponents.
Sigman can be hit away.

Hold Down B: Zero
Zero rushes in from behind. 
Unlike other helpers, he has to be hit to activate his attack, acting as a moving counter.
When hit, he'll kindly explain that he is the - what now?

C: Friends with Benefits (requires 1000 power)
Plug Man's first super. Hard Man joins him for a barrage of balls and arms.
Rather quick to start, acting as a good followup if the opponent is getting tossed around by helpers.
Hard Man has to be offscreen for it to be used.
Should Plug Man be hit, the move will end, but he'll keep firing if Hard Man is hit instead.

Hold Down C: BEN FRANKLIN IS A PUSSY (requires 2000 power)
Plug Man's ultimate move. He receives a strong power boost from a certain source, then rush in to shock the opponent!
On hit, it'll take almost half the opponent's health, but it will leave Plug wide open should he be miss or have it blocked.

Notes:
______________
The AI on this one is fairly easy to beat, it focuses more on attacking than defending, but I figured it's fitting for a Mega Man boss.
I feel like this is a character no one will get if I didn't explain every single reference, but I hope it's still fun to watch.
It's probably the furthest I'll ever go with what I choose to reference. I'm not comfortable myself with the majority of videos you see used in BME, even.
